Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 530 - 139: Double-Edged Sword (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_2

[They’re so bizarre-looking, let’s just call them "Frogfish Heads." This place is the den of the swamp Frogfish Heads, home to hundreds of monsters.]

[Because you broke free with a single hit, they couldn’t drag you underwater, and obviously, land isn’t their main battlefield, so they could only look on helplessly at you.]

[And it seems you could only look on helplessly at them too. Although one on its own is no match for you, there are just too many of them. Huddling together for warmth, you’re unable to confront them head-on.]

[After coming out, background and forces matter. What good does your ability to fight do you?]

["Heh, just because you stick together doesn’t mean I can’t do anything about you?"]

[However, you haven’t given up hope. Wearing the title of "Enchanting Demon," you slowly approach and, at the extreme distance, use your "Seductive Eyes" on one of the Frogfish Heads. You infuriated it, it leapt out of the swamp, chasing after you with a trail of its brethren.]

[Gee, they really stick together, don’t they? When one frog gets angry, the whole family comes after you.] 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

[You turn tail and run, escaping their attack range. They wheeze weirdly, crawling back into the swamp, their faces showing almost human expressions, as if they were cursing you.]

[You still don’t give up and take out a fishing rod, casting it into the air.]

[Item: Baited Hook Straight (Fine) — Within a certain range, this item can forcibly reel the target in front of you, and those with insufficient strength cannot break free.]

[If playing nice won’t do, time to play tough. You forcefully hoisted up a Frogfish Head. It didn’t have time to react before you used an Iron Mountain Lean to crush it on the spot, harvesting an 8th-level white crystal.]

["Croak, croak, croak croak!"]

[Such a sneaky move cost the Frogfish Heads one of their brothers. They gathered together, muttering and cursing at you.]

[You want to fish another, but sadly you only have one Baited Hook Straight (Fine). Your gaze falls on your other items, but seeing all the blue-quality items on the screen and then looking at the white-quality crystal, you think about the green-quality items you used up just to get this little thing. Suddenly, you feel the sting and decide it’s not worth it, abandoning the idea.]

[Ah, after all, you are a Second Rank expert. Once willing to use up purple-quality items for a white crystal, now you’ve become choosy, looking down on such trifles.]

[You continue heading west, activating your Spiritual Perception, searching for traces of monsters, becoming ever more cautious as you sense that deeper into the wilderness, monsters always clump together.]

[There’s a woman with a bare upper body tied to a tree, crying for help. You spot immediately that she’s not human. After a stealthy observation, you discover about twenty Drilling Worms hiding at the base of the tree. These worms aren’t very powerful, but they’re infectious. You weigh the pros and cons and choose to retreat;]

["Good person, good person, save me, save me~" The mermaid in the sewer begs pitifully, shaking her tail at you. She insists she’s a good person, trapped here after a car accident with her friends, hoping you’ll come to her rescue. She claims she’d do anything for you, then licks her three-foot-long tongue in a suggestive manner.]

[You’re slightly tempted, but then you glance back at the Gu Pan mother and daughter, and you firmly reject her offer. At the same time, you notice the firelight hidden in the eye sockets of the several human skeletons behind her, indicating they are not weak. You ultimately decide to retreat, and they don’t pursue you, just quietly watch you leave.]

[You continue westward, encountering one monster den after another, unearthing trap after trap. You find that there’s no end to the monsters on the wilderness, and they always like to wear human skin, disguising themselves as pregnant women in distress, attractive teachers, adorable students, enchanting older sisters, and even Nan Liang, trying to deceive you.]

[With eyes keen as flames, you see through it all. Your principle for identifying demons is: if it’s alive and in human form, it isn’t human. Good grief, you dispatch them all with one swing of your stick.]

[Even though there are so many monsters, you find that you’re only encountering them in heaps, by the tens and hundreds, very united, with Second Rank monsters often appearing in groups. You flee across the wilderness, with no chance to hunt properly.]

[Only now do you realize that the "Rascal" profession’s innate skill "Bloodthirst" truly is a divine technique. It can be used to avoid swarms of monsters, seeking out solitary small monsters that venture out to feed.]

[Without a Rascal, you might not necessarily die, but it’s indeed tough to run into solitary monsters by luck, even possibly missing each other by tens of meters.]

[Fortunately, the old saying goes: "There’s always a way out." After your desperate fight for survival and thorough search, you finally find two solitary monsters.]

[They are a Slaanesh small Demon and an Alien Species·Flying Head Monster in heat.]

[When you arrive at the battlefield, the Flying Head Monster is lured by beauty away from its pack, coming here to indulge in a passionate affair with the Slaanesh small Demon.]

[Already filled with repressed anger, you rush to the scene. You and Gu Pan cooperate to grab this illicit couple, swiftly melting them down. With a bloody lesson, you teach them what it means when they say lust can cut like a knife.]

[You harvest two Erosion Crystals, one being level 12, and the other, also level 12.]

[You feel somewhat pleased. By this time, it’s already the afternoon. You think the feng shui here isn’t bad and decide to strike while the iron is hot, continuing your search.]

[With the help of Spiritual Perception, searching for monsters is somewhat more effective than flying blind. So in less than half an hour, you find what appears to be an ancient tomb. This is a section of the wasteland from a previous civilization. Moss and wild grass hide the entrance to the tomb. You gently part the wild grass and find a woman inside, clutching a child and sobbing.]
